it's been cold...all bundled up

Maya turned 1 week today! She spends half her life in the swing right now. So far she is sleeping almost all day, being awake sometimes an hour here or there. She usually wakes up just as we are putting Kalia to sleep and then stays awake for a couple of hours. But at least her sleeping so much during the day allows us to give Kalia quite a bit of attention, especially today when Erik went back to work.

Kalia is really enjoying just staying at home, she really could just play here all day. She is enjoying the presents that Maya got her. She has a play-doh set and a wordworld house with letters and characters. Both presents that were supposed to be Christmas presents, but didn't arrive until a couple of weeks ago- so it worked out perfectly. Kalia is adjusting pretty well to having Maya at home. She loves Maya and wants to hold her and share her toys with her. But has been acting out a little bit towards the rest of us, but overall handling things really well.

Kalia has been refering to herself at "duck's mom". She has been leading dance classes in our living room every day and it's pretty funny to watch erik do all the moves she's teaching.

Maya had her appointment on Tuesday and she looks great, has already gained her birth weight back. Dr. Mateo gave us some tips on satisfying her sucking reflex, she is such a sucker! She was actually born with a blister on her hand from sucking on it in utero! No latching problems for Maya.
